This article serves as a basic introduction to the design and operation of an atomic force microscope. The following sections cover the basic concepts and technologies that help understand the ...

Physicists in Leiden have developed a microscope that can assess four important features of a material in a single scan, all ...

While pursuing a bioengineering PhD at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Wesley Legant ran into a frustrating roadblock: he had ideas, but the equipment to carry them out didn’t yet ...

The ProZ uniquely combines large focus travel movement with precise encoded resolution (0.25 µm). Designed to securely accommodate components up to 23 kg in weight, more than sufficient for a zoom, ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new dark-field imaging technique that does not require specialized microscope ...

My first microscope came in a small wooden box about one-third the size of a standard shoe box (not Frye boot size!) that neatly housed the microscope and five surgical tools: two scalpels, one pair ...

Accurate measurement results depend on regular microscope calibration to ensure consistency and reliability across scientific and industrial use.

Engineers have developed a small, mirrored chip that helps to produce dark-field images, without dedicated expensive components. The chip is slightly larger than a postage stamp and as thin as a ...
